'Promoting women in Business is a crucial issue, not only for our economic health, but also for our society ... Lynne Franks plans to develop her SEED Programme nationally to support women entrepreneurs by integrating the holistic principles of personal growth with the practical tools of starting an running a business.' Rt Hon. Jacqui Smith MP, Minister of State for Industry and the Regions and Deputy Minister for Women and Equality 'This book is great- you simply have to buy it, it's a must!

Book Description

A life-changing program to teach women and men the feminine way to start a business, develop self-confidence, self-love, and gain a new outlook on life.

Lynne Franks is one of the best-known public relations consultants in the world. In the years since she first began working from her own kitchen table, she has advised and guided women entrepreneurs from diverse cultural backgrounds across the globe.

In The SEED Handbook (Sustainable Enterprise and Empowerment Dynamics), Franks pulls together a twelve-stage program that is both an economic and personal growth tool. It contains practical exercises to give readers the confidence to trust their abilities, passions, and values to enable themselves to create something organic that grows naturally from who they are as people. Franks shows how to keep the dream alive with marketing, business planning, marketing launches, and case histories.

The women and men who Franks uses as examples are creating consciously ethical and responsible businesses based on integrity and love. Like them, many of us desire to start a sustainable enterprise but are too fearful. The SEED Handbook helps break the social conditioning and lack of confidence, find support, mentors, and plant the seeds that can create the garden we want to have in our lives.

With Franks's handbook, readers will not only become members of a thriving SEED community, but also happily take responsibility for their lives.

This review is from: Seed Handbook (Paperback)

Although I believe Lynne Franks has good insight for people who want to start their own business, I found it annoying the way that she would name drop and take credit for the success of others. If you are looking for an uplifting book that will help you take the next step toward running your own business, I would recommend, "Building a Business the Buddhist Way : A Practitioner's Guidebook" by Geri Larkin. This book provides the inspiration to take the next step and more practical advise on how to write a business plan and get started.
